And this nicely demo's github's total lack of a way to see what this project does. I have 2 of my 4 machines loaded up and only half working now because changes in linuxcnc have disabled camview and I need to take it back out of my configs. I finally found a camera that works, for a $100 bill and the next update killed it again. I guess cameras are not supposed to be used as edge finders etc with LinuxCNC? If that is indeed the case, please tell me why its a bad idea. There would I suspect, be a lot more interest in such as this link if thumbnail jpg's of the wizards looks were available so we could see if its usuable for us. > Is anyone using them?
